Robert Minty has been elected as a councillor for the Borough of Queenscliffe Council, after the Victorian Electoral Commission conducted a countback of votes at 1 pm on Monday 19 June.
The Election Manager, Roger Millar, today declared the result after a countback of votes from the general election held in October 2020.
Only those candidates who were unsuccessful at the general election and who were still eligible to be elected were included in the countback process.
The extraordinary vacancy arose due to the resignation of Councillor Fleur Hewitt.
